Page Two New York City should veto a resolution imposing sanctions against Israel. No resolutions have yet been tabled and there is little prospect of a vote by the council until later in the week. Arab diplomats used the weekend to work on one and perhaps two resolutions censuring Israel for its attack on Iraq's nuclear plant. The United States has let it be known that it will veto any resolution that does more than condemn Israel for the raid, and that alone. Mayor Edward Koch drew roars from the parade-goers when he denounced Iraq's leader, Saddam Hussein, as a "certified madman bent on the destruction of the world." The annual parade, sponsored by the American Zionist Youth Foundation, marked the 33rd anniversary of the state of Israel.

A few miles away, the Palestinian Solidarity Committee launched a counter parade to oppose Israel's action in Iraq. Koch told the crowd that the U.N. delegates were "a pack of fools" and "hypocrites." Israel's action was similar to the American response during the Cuban missile crisis, he said. Begin's letter asked, "May I from afar respectfully ask the American people if they would have sat idly by in the face of such a lethal danger involving their own children and grandchildren?"

AAongus Chief Clerk Lottery Number PITTSBURGH (UPI) The winning number selected Saturday in the Pennsylvania Lottery Daily Number Game was 103. The winning number selected in the Big Four Lottery was 7111. Soviets Unlikely million barrels daily by 1985 and to 8 million barrels by 1990, making the Soviets modest oil importers by the latter date. The projections, it said, are "more a possibility than a likelihood in our assessment." As its "best case" estimate, it used projections by the Economic Commission for Europe, showing Soviet production rising to 14 million barrels a day in the 1980s.

The Soviet Union is the world's largest oil producer, at about 12 million barrels a day. The original CIA estimates had the Soviets becoming oil importers by 1985. The study said deteriorating relations between the Soviet Union and the West could boost chances of a Soviets attempt to complicate the Western oil supply picture, but "this is unlikely to take the form of overt military action." "Prior to 1990 (and indeed as far as can be foreseen until the end of the century), it is simply not likely that the U.S.S.R. would take risks such as would be involved in massive military action to secure greater access to oil for Eastern Europe without a much stronger energy imperative than has been foreseen in this study," it said. The report also referred to what is considered the Soviet Union's ace in the hole its natural gas resources specifically the multibillion- dollar Siberia-to-Western Europe Yamburg pipeline project.

The past two U.S. administrations have publicly voiced concerns that the project, which could involve as much as $15 billion in Western credits, might make the Western Europeans too dependent economically on the Soviet Union. No Problem government." The chairman of House Appropriations Committee Rep. Richard McClatchy, R-Montgomery, pooh-poohed Kilter's gripes. "Amendments to the budget on the floor are nothing but political gamesmanship designed to get headlines back home for the sponsoring members," said McClatchy.

He also contended lawmakers had a chance to make their opinions on state spending known in legislative budget hearings held earlier this year. For the most part, the $6.8 billion general budget now before the Senate closely resembles the proposal made by Gov. Dick Thornburgh in February. Lawmakers added $11.8 million to Thornburgh's proposed $50 million increase in aid to local schoa! districts. They also restored $26 million to pay county court costs and $14.8 million in sewage treatment grants, both of which Thornburgh would have eliminated.

Legislators said local taxes would rise if the court and sewage treatment programs weren't continued, and some Democrats said real estate taxes would still rise because education funding wasn't adequate. To fund their changes in the budget, lawmakers cut mental health and retardation funding proposed by Thornburgh, and slashed welfare, housing, and schloraship aid programs among other reductions. 4,000 Page Budget but place it "off-budget" so it doesn't affect overall The Senate Energy Committee took the same basic approach.

June 19th To Order Call 684-1830 We Deliver In Town $100 1 Each Help Us Help You LONDON (UPI) Queen Elizabeth II has refused to give up close contact with her subjects depite the blank shots fired at her Satury, but Scotland Yard has begun an urgent review on how to protect the royal family less than two months before the wedding of Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spenecer. Police declined to discuss details of the security review, But British newspapers, without naming sources, unanimously reported the 55- year-old monarch has insisted on keeping a "high profile" on public appearances. Ex-Royal Marine Marcus Simon Sarjeant, 17, startled the nation and millions of television viewers Saturday when he fired six blank shots directly at the queen from about 10 feet as the monarch rode horseback in the Trooping of the Color ceremony near Buckingham Palace. The shots caused the queen's horse, Burmese, to shy. The queen, looking shaken, brought him under control as furious bystanders, a guard soldier and police seized Sarjeant and his blank pistol.

One spectator said "Her Majesty seemed very, very scared." Sarjeant, who was scheduled to appeared before a majistrate's court today, was charged under the 1842 Treason Act with "willfully discharging at the person of Her Majesty the Queen a blank cartridge pistol with intent to alarm her." Sarjeant, now unemployed quit the Royal Marines after i month's basic training because of the discipline and "bullying," friends said. They said Sarjeant was "a helpful sort of person" but changed to become "a loner" after a brief period in the corps. But he was a scout leader and a successful air cadet, winning a marksmanship prize last year. At the July 29 wedding, the royal family will ride nearly 3 miles to the marriage ceremony in open horse- drawn carriages along streets jammed with tens thousands of sightseers, posing an immense security problem. Members of the royal family usually have only one personal armed police bodyguard each but they are never very close during royal ceremonials such as Saturday's procession.

"Security arrangements for the royal family are constantly under review in regard to public appearances," said a Buckingham Palace official. The shooting would be "carefully studied in relation to future appearances." Police announced extra security precautions for Prince Charles' visit to New York next week. A $300,000 operation involving 1,200 extra police, helicopters and bomb- sniffing dogs is planned for his 24-hour visit. Arab Nations Looking To Condemn Israel Over Raid UNITED NATIONS (UPI) Faced with the prospect of a U.S. veto on any call for trade sanctions against Israel, Arab diplomats have worked out a formula aimed at obtaining an American condemnation of the Jewish state for its raid on an Iraqi reactor.

A Sunday break in the Security Council emergency session gave the Arab diplomats time to work on two resolutions censuring Israel one calling for sanctions. Although the 15-member Council was reconvening today, there was little prospect of a vote until later in the week. The United States has let it be known that it will veto any resolution that does more than condemn Israel for the raid. Because of this, diplomatic sources said, the Arabs are considering presenting two resolutions: one condemning Israel and imposing mandatory trade sanctions against the Jewish state including military and technical assistance; and another simply condemning Israel for the raid. If this scenario is pursued, the United States could veto the first and vote yes or abstain on the second.

Under the two-resolution formula, the sources said, the Arabs would get a public condemnation of Israel, even though it is the weaker of the two resolutions, and at the same time have the United States pilloried along with Israel for killing the sanctions move. In his opening speech in the packed council chamber Friday, Foreign Minister Saa- doun Hammadi charged the Israeli raid was one more aggressive step toward a "full-scale war to subjugate the Arab countries and to impose full Zionist domination over the whole Middle East." Israel asserted it had no choice but to strike at the Iraqi reactor because it faced a threat of "nuclear obliteration." Saturday a host of countries added their voices to a chorus of denunciation of the Israeli attack tht destroyed Iraq's French-built nuclear reactor outside Baghdad last Sunday. Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sabah al-Ahmed al-Sabay said the Israeli threat was not only against Iraq but all Arab countries. "Israel considers all Arab countries targets for its strikes," he said. Trapped Boy's plete with volunteer dwarfs, contortionists and a teen-ager, took place in a circus-like atmosphere reminiscent of a Federico Fellini film.

Alfredo's mother, Francesca Rampi, was chief among the critics. "Certainly, errors were made and the lack of logical organization was obvious," said the grief-stricken woman, her eyes red from lack of sleep and crying. "I hope the sacrifice of Alfredo's life will at least serve to awaken public opinion. "Nobody should ever have to risk going through the tragedy of my Alfredo," she said, her voice breaking with emotion in the interview on national television.

He has been minister of the churches at Fairchance and Lake Lynn since 1978. During his pastorage many new programs have been started and the membership has grown by 50 members. Swenson and his wife, Sallie, were guests at a reception held in the social room of the Tyrone First Presbyterian Church on Saturday evening, and he was the guest speaker at yesterday's worship service. The Swensons and their children, Mary Ann, 7, and Matthew, 2, will move to Tyrone, in August and will reside in the newly- redecorated Presbyterian manse at 1319 Logan ave. The local Presbyterian congregation has been without a pastor since November, 1980, when the Rev, Fred Dickerson accepted a call to Bethel Park Presbyterian Church.

The U.N. Vecurity Council debating possible sanctions and censure of Israel for the attack was planning to reconvene today after a one- day break. The United States has let it be known it will veto any resolution that does more than condemn Israel, such as seeking sanctions. Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Prince Saud al- Faisal told ABC's Issues and Answers he hoped the United States would take action against Israel, which he said was able "to strikf anywhere without restrictions." Khomeini Tells rallied around him as some of them are wolves that could destroy him. "He would not listen," Khomeini said, adding "it is still not too late." The parliament, or Majlis, was to have discussed Sunday a fundamentalist move to impeach the 48-year-old moderate president.

Instead, 120 of its members submitted a letter to Speaker Hashemi Rafsanjani, asking that the parliament discuss Bani- Sadr's "political competence" for the job. The indirect approach suggested the ruling Islamic Republican party, which is capable of pushing any motion through the 270-seat house under its control, decided to leave room for Bani-Sadr ta compromise. By Dan D'lmperio Q. What information can you furnish on a kerosene lamp having a Japanese style bronze F. York, Pa.

A. The discovery of the Pennsylvania oil fields in 1859 prompted a parade of kerosene regulated lighting devices. Consumers realized that kerosene, distilled from petroleum, was cleaner and better smelling than whale oil. Innumerable variations of kerosene lamps were produced by late Victorian manufacturers. Designers, strongly influenced by the Japanese Exhibits at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition of 1876, created a number of these lighting accessories featuring Oriental themes.

Those in pristine condition, complete with their original shades, fetch illuminating returns. Value guide: Kerosene lamp, flower decorated globe, Japanese style bronze base, 26 inches tall, $375. Q. Would you assist me -in evaluating a small group of reward Tulsa, Okla. A.

A. With a capital of $100,000, John C. Adams founded the Illinois Springfield Watch Co. in 1869. Within just one year 125 employees were producing 25 watches per day.

However, financial difficulties plagued the company through the 1870s. Between 1885 and 1927, when the firm operated under the title Illinois Watch Company, over five and a half million watches were produced. Subsequently, it was purchased by the Hamilton Watch Company.

Copyright Crown Syndicate, Inc. 1981 Citizens on Radio License arrival By E. Z. Strange The weeks of waiting are over. You have just come home and have looked through the day's mail.

Your Federal Communications Commission (FCC) amateur radio license has arrived. You are now a federally licensed radio amateur with all the rights and privileges appertaining thereto and that's a lot, bub. Because of the format of the FCC novice (beginning) license examination, you knew you had passed the Interna- ional Morse code receiving and sending examinations. This had to be done before the FCC would send the written test to your volunteer examiner. You were even so confident you had passed the written examination on electrical safety, FCC amateur radio regulations and beginning electronics that you assembled your first Ham station while waiting for the FCC to find out you had passed.

FIRST CONTACT JITTERS Rushing to the basement corner that is your Ham "shack" (radio room), you connect the antenna and flip the switches to the code transmitter you built with the help of a radio amateur friend and your receiver. The high-pitched sounds of Morse code promptly fill the air. "CQ CQ CQ de WD7AAA." WD7AAA in Oregon is calling for anyone who hears him to answer so they can talk. You reach for your telegraph poise to answer this freeze. It's the old first contact jitters.

Making radio contacts is the only sure way to overcome a case of "novice nerves." But there are two invaluable action steps that can be taken by someone waiting for their license that will help relieve the tension. Step one is simply to listen to other operators on the air. Write down the code transmissions you hear. Not only is this a good way to continue to improve Morse code proficiency, but it helps one become familiar with abbreviations used and the pattern used in calling and answering calls. Step two is to obtain the booklet, "Operating An Amateur Radio Station." This booklet provides the most comprehensive description of the operating practices, on- the-air activites, public service communications and other phases of amateur radio ever assembled.

"How complete is this publication?" Ah, friend, I am glad you asked this enticing question. Operating contains everything the beginner and nearly everything even the most experienced radio amateurs could want to know-all in its 33 page, by inch format. The mechanics of establishing contact, call CQ (for anyone) and on-the-air courtesy are covered with examples on page 3, the first page of text. The QSO (on-the-air conversation), ending the QSO and operating through Ham repeaters take up less than three-fourths of page 4. Examples, again punctuate the succinct, but thorough discussions.

PITTSBURGH (UPI) Four men have ended a three- day fast held to protest draft registration. Sue Porter, spokeswoman for a group called Pasters for Peace, said the draft-age men were at Mellon Park in downtown Pittsburgh where they agreed to end their protest at 5 p.m. Saturday. The men are members of the National Organizing Committee Against Registration and the Draft. Pittsburgh activist Molly Rush commented on the protest: "By willingly taking the suffering for at least a time for the poor in this country and El Salvador, we move toward a solidarity with the oppressed, which is the heart of nonviolence." Learn to swallow your words in time, and you'll seldom have cause to eat them.
